Floyd Mayweather will not fight Amir Khan any time soon, but when he does the
likely venue will be in London.

Floyd Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe has revealed that a superfight between the world's best pound-for-pound boxer and Amir Khan could take place in London, but describes reports that a deal has been signed for the pair to clash next year as a "ridiculous rumour".

"I think if there were discussions, Mr Al Haymon (Mayweather's adviser) and I would be well aware of them," Ellerbe told Grand Rapids Press, Michigan.

In the interview, Ellerbe scuppered reports that Mayweather v Khan would be on May 3, and ridiculed the notion that all parties had agreed London's Wembley Stadium was not under consideration and the fight would be in Las Vegas.

He also rubbished the idea that Khan would abandon plans to fight Devon Alexander in December.

Ellerbe claims there have been no direct talks about who Mayweather's next opponent will be, and that any discussions on the matter will not start until late October or November.
